1855 Two and a Half, MS65+
A Condition Census Rarity

1855 $2 1/2 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Philadelphia gold is generally overlooked, unless the mintage is remarkably low; which leads us to this coin that has an unremarkable mintage, yet was obviously not saved in any great numbers at the time of issuance. The 1855 quarter eagle is scarce in Mint State and a major rarity at the Gem grade level. This piece is one of only two CAC-approved Gems, with none finer. The strike is sharp aside from the eagle's left (facing) leg, which is characteristically weak. Satiny orange-gold luster shows no distracting abrasions. Population: 6 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer. CAC: 2 in 65, 0 finer (10/20).(Registry values: P2)
